Inhoud:

Traces how members of the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM) developed the discipline of urban design from the 1940s to the 1960s. This title argues that CIAM goals were instrumental in forming the field of urban design, and it was the rejection of these goals by politicians that led to the results of metropolitan sprawl.
